Community Picnic @ Groundswell July 14th

Ithaca Welcomes Refugees is a volunteer led community initiative that fosters a welcoming and fair environment for refugees and immigrants who come to our region. Our hope is that these efforts will continue the development of Ithaca as a welcoming host community in times of great global need. Ithaca Welcomes Refugees is a proud member of Welcoming America.
